London CIV has announced the appointment of Dean Bowden as CEO of the pension pool in succession to Mike O’Donnell.

Bowden will join London CIV in November 2022 and spend a few weeks working with O’Donnell before he takes over formally.

Bowden was formerly CEO and director of Quilter Investors Portfolio Management and managing director and director of Quilter Investors. He also undertook the role of Quilter’s group head of responsible investment.

“It is a privilege to be taking over the leadership of this purpose-led business at an exciting time for the pooling sector in general and for London CIV,” he said.

“I look forward to working closely with London CIV clients to further develop the support and proposition for the LGPS pension funds we support.”

London CIV is responsible for managing the pooled assets of 31 London local authorities and City of London LGPS funds.

Mike Craston, London CIV chair, said: “I’m keen to see London CIV maximise its potential to deliver benefits for its client funds and wider stakeholders and believe that Dean has the right blend of knowledge and personal qualities to lead London CIV over the forthcoming years, in a context where we all expect to navigate some change both in terms of markets and government policy.”
